Ocean food chain diagrams are created to show the chain reaction of who consumes who. For example in Figure 2, the primary producers are phytoplankton who are consumed by secondary consumers known as zooplankton. Secondary consumers are consumed by others who are tertiary consumers. The chain can...

(Hint: Plankton is an example of a building block of the food web.) How do sponges digest food? How does the sea urchin adapt to the aquatic biome? Are sea sponge plankton, nekton, or benthos? Why do sponges belong to the phylum Porifera? Why are dinoflagellates zooplankton and ...
Less dust has been blowing off the Sahara Desert recently, for example. Normally this plume wafts over to the Americas, forming a giant umbrella that shades all that Atlantic water. But now the umbrella has partially folded up, allowing more of the sun to beat down on the ocean. Weirder ...
derived from the materials found in its upper layers. For example, a deep blue sea will have very little life in it, whereas a green color means there are ecosystems there, based on phytoplankton, plant-like microbes which contain chlorophyll. The phytoplankton form the basis of a food web ...
Pathways of the oceanic circulation that are influenced by the displacement of continents (for example, the Drake Passage, South African gateway and the Tasman gateway between Antarctica and South America, Africa and Australia, respectively). Bacterivory Organisms that obtain carbon and energy primarily...
For example, out-migration survival rates from basins several hundred kilometers upstream to the Golden Gate Bridge for hatchery fish range from 5-20%, whereas survival of fish that are trucked downstream is likely higher. Further, while recent otolith microchemistry analysis estimated that naturally...
Once the diatom has been consumed by an animal (a copepod, for example), its life is over, but its effect on the ocean is not. The copepod digests and derives energy from the diatom's soft tissue, then packages the remains into a fecal pellet that is discharged as waste to become pa...
